There have been laws passed on this subject in Florida, always to the great consternation of liberals and gun control advocates, but it remains an open question in much of the country. Should your doctor be asking you during the course of a routine check-up whether or not you or any family members have a gun in your house? And what if they do just come out and ask? Ben Guarino at the Washington Post brings us some information about a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine which suggests that nothing should hold doctors back from inquiring. You know… just for your own good.

Truthfully state “I’m gonna say no.”
I didn’t care what he thought...I just made it clear that it wasn’t any of his business to ask me what I deemed a non medical question...
When my GD was about 10 y/o, the pediatrician asked her, if there were guns in the house. We never rehearsed an answer with her, for such a situation. For a kid, I thought her answer was perfect for someone her age; she said “Not that I noticed.”
Afterwards, when she told us what she had said, she said, when he asked, she thought and was worried that someone might come and take away her Red Ryder, that she had just got for Christmas. Good kid, that one.
You are obviously raising your daughter the right way. Keep it up! :o)
Doc: “How many guns do you have?”
Answer: “Not enough.”
Doc: “Why do you have so many guns?”
Answer: “The little voices in my head keep telling me to.”
In NY State where the liberals published gun owners addresses, the owners went before judges and demanded carry permits because now they were in danger of break ins and thefts....and they are getting the permits.
So publishing the names put more guns on the street.
Because "they" are already collecting/building gun owner databases for the future when the 2nd Amendment is gutted. They won't have to send LEO's to your door to collect your firearms, though. They will make a few special raids on high profile private citizens to shock and intimidate the sheep. For the rest, they'll just freeze your bank account, suspend your driver's license, deny you government medical care, etc., until you personally surrender your firearms at a designated collection point.
Thank you, but that was something of rhetorical question. It’s all about “gotchas” down the road somewhere.
Interesting outcome. In effect, the liberal attempt to institute gun control through the false strategy of protecting children’s lives (and pinpointing their targets through the medical profession) has been blown out of the water. It was just another government attempt at controling our lives through false pretenses.
My dad enjoyed hunting and fishing. I was taught to shoot and handle guns at the age of 5. When guns are present in a household and parents teach their children to respect guns and the danger they represent when mishandled, there are no casualties. Children always want to play with whatever is forbidden. To forbid children from knowledge about guns is the WORST disservice you can do to them.I taught my children to shoot. We enjoyed many good times at the Trap Club and elsewhere as well as hunting together.
A well rounded life encompasses facing facts. Life isn’t perfect. Liberals want to control every aspect whether we like it or not because they think thy know what’s good for us. We MUST continue to tell them to go to hell!
It’s not there. I suppose some may have it in their emr. We don’t. Or at least if it is it’s not a required field.
Like the smoking questions it is mandatory in our emrs
I imagine the smoking questions, do you smoke, do you want to stop, will you accept education and classes to stop will determine future access to medical care.
Since the back end of obamacare does not have to abide by Hppa regs I imagine it will be open to the government. Easy way to collect data.
Buwahahahaha! she will make some real man very happy some day...
pediatricians better wake up quick... transgenderism is more harmful than firearms.
The opposite is true for members of the FR boating club. I'm a charter member, and I took every gun I own out fishing . . .
Your emr has the gun question? We have Athena. I’m sure it’s an option but I haven’t seen it
Yes and so do the emrs of my own docs office. As a matter of fact, I cannot think of a docs office I have been in in the past two years that hasn’t asked.
Interesting. We don’t and I wouldn’t in my office. I’m in Arkansas and don’t think they do at the ones in Oklahoma I know about either
